Excitement and apprehension filled me as I sat down to write my first work of fiction. The story had been brewing in my mind since I was was a child, ever since I dreamt about the characters and their magical world. I knew I had to share their stories with the world, and I wanted to bring them to life with my digital sketches. As a child growing up in the Philippines, I was always been fascinated by the stories my elders told me. These tales were steeped in our culture and history, and they often carried important life lessons. As I grew older, I realized that many of these stories were in danger of being lost as our society rapidly modernized. This is why I decided to attempt and create this book of fiction. My goal is to preserve the stories that we grew up with and pass them down to the next generation. While some of the tales may be familiar to readers, I hope that others will be new and intriguing. All of them however, carry a piece of our heritage and offer insights into our values and beliefs. I have gathered these stories from various sources, including my own memories from re-occurring dreams, some from family and friends. As I delved deeper into the plot, I found myself lost in the mystical realm I had created. The journey was filled with twists and turns, and I couldn't wait to share it with others. I poured my heart and soul into every page, hoping to evoke emotions and inspire readers. It was a daunting task, but I was ready to take on the challenge and see where the story would take me. I would love your feedback on my first attempt at writing a fiction book.
